1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Background: Repeated embryo implantation failure (RIF) posed a significant challenge in assisted reproduction. Evidence of its therapeutic effectiveness including atosiban used around embryo transfer to improve pregnancy outcomes in RIF patients undergoing Methods: The research was designed using the PICOS format. A systematic search of four English databases, PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, and one Chinse database, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) was conducted. The time range was from inception to December 10, 2022. Then trials comparing the efficacy of atosiban and control group on pregnancy outcomes in RIF patients who receive IVF-ET were included. Subgroup analysis and sensitivity analysis were performed to reduce the influence of heterogeneity between included studies. Risk ratio (RR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) were calculated. The main outcome measure was clinical pregnancy rate (CPR). For the analyses, StataMP 17.0 (Stata Corporation, USA) was used. Results: Two prospective randomized controlled trials (RCTs), one prospective cohort study and four retrospective cohort studies were included. Our results showed that atosiban was associated with higher clinical pregnancy rate (RR=1.54, 95% CI: 1.365-1.735, Conclusion: For women who are undergoing IVF-ET and have experienced repeated embryo implantation failure, atosiban may be an important factor in enhancing pregnancy outcomes. To confirm this conclusion, more thorough, prospective randomized controlled studies of sizable sample sizes with well design are required.
